I almost always think of the novel 'Agents and Patients' by Anthony Powell when I pass this spot. I was reading it on the bus earlier this year and as we passed the bank one of the characters was making a similar journey to North London. I often associate places with scenes in novels like this, and every time I re-pass them I recall the scene. It's funny, on reflection I realise I knew the character in the novel was heading North like me because he passed the statue of Sir Hugh Myddleton on Islington Green.
I've not visited this one either, but I think this is a picture here.
